When I run my App with xCode all loads and runs fine. When I load in Instruments and press record using a profiling template of Activity Monitor or Allocations it loads and runs fine. However if I use Zombies or Leaks the app crashes instantly. I dont even get to see it. I then access the crash logs in xcode and though the reason for the crash is Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Its almost impossible to debug the cause as each report is different.

So I stop calling the line
StoreManager.getProductIdentifiersFromServer()
which stops the subsequent calls to
JSONParser.jsonURL(_:jsonType:)
Then the app crashes

Does not seem to matter what functions I do or do not call I get a crash. It seems to me that its a system call and not one that I make thats causing the crash. Is it just me or is Instruments 9.3 crashing on Zombies and Or Leaks for anyone else?
557
I was having a similar problem, and I solved it choosing Blank template instead of Leaks and then I manually add Allocations and Leaks with the + button at the top right of the screen.
It was solved on Xcode Version 9.4 (9F1027a)
184
Apple Developer forums had a helpful response (https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/97592):
After setting up the Leaks or Zombies instrument but before beginning recording, go to “File” > “Recording Options...” (⌘⌥R) and uncheck “Record Reference Counts”. This should allow the instrument to run normally.
